What else can I help you with?
What would cause the brake pedal to pump when brakes are applied ina 2000 Honda passport?
Your vehicle is equipped with abs and anti lock brakes, when applied hard enough the system interprets it as a panic stop and pulses the brakes to prevent lock up and skidding.
What is resonance in physics?
A phenomenon that occurs when the frequency of a force applied to a system matcches the natural frequency of vibration in a system, resulting in a large amplitude of vibration.
What is the spring break system in tractor trailer rig?
It's used as a parking brake. Spring brakes clamp down when there is no air applied, locking up the wheels. When air is applied, they are pushed up against the springs by air pressure, releasing the brakes, and allowing the vehicle to move.
Slamming hard on the brakes can cause a vehicle to skid?
Yes, unless the vehicle has functioning ABS (antilock brake system) brakes.
Are brakes and rotors the same component in a vehicle?
No, brakes and rotors are not the same component in a vehicle. Brakes refer to the system that slows down or stops the vehicle, while rotors are the discs that the brake pads press against to create friction and stop the vehicle.
What are the maxmuim leakakage rate in air brake system?
Three (3) psi/minute (single vehicle) or four (4) psi/minute in a combination vehicle. This is with the motor off, parking brake released, and service brakes applied.
What does it mean when the ABS light on a 1994 Ford Explorer is coming on and staying on as well as when the brakes are applied the vehicle also feels like it wants to go?
the abs light means you have a problem in your brake system it also means get it to a shop and have it fixed before the brakes fail and you are in a wreck as for feeling like it wants to go when the brakes are applied that in itself tells you there is a problem if the brakes are inadequate while stopped, how is it going to stop you in an emergency
Do trailer brakes automatically lock when the air lines have been disconnected?
Air pressure within the air braking system of a tractor-trailer (or large truck) is what prevents the brakes from being applied. The pressure of the air pushes back a large spring at each wheel. The large spring will apply the brakes when there is no pressure in the system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, air is released out of the system and the brakes are applied. When the driver's foot comes off the brake pedal, air is quickly pumped back into the system and the brakes are released. Disconnecting the air line has the same effect on the trailer's brakes. Air is released from the system, and the brakes are applied. It is not the brakes themselves that lock. Application of the brakes causes the wheels to lock.
Should you pump your ABS brakes to stop you vehicle in adverse conditions?
No, the purpose of anti-lock brakes is to prevent your vehicle from skidding in adverse conditions and during an emergency maneuver. The system will pump the brakes for you.
Are brake pads the same as brakes, or are they different components in a vehicle's braking system?
Brake pads are a component of the braking system in a vehicle, not the same as the brakes themselves. Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the brake rotors to slow or stop the vehicle. The brakes refer to the entire system, including components like the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid.
Why does 93 Oldsmobile Cutlass make loud moaning noise in reverse only and you can feel vibration in steering wheel but it stops when brakes are slightly applied?
When a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass makes a loud, moaning noise in reverse it is possible that the reverse gear in the transmission is getting ready to go out. The braking system should be looked at too, because of the vibration.
How does braking system work with friction?
When the brakes are applied, the brake pads press against the brake rotors, creating friction. This friction converts the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into thermal energy, slowing down the vehicle. The more friction generated between the pads and rotors, the faster the vehicle will decelerate.
